Chapter 16 The Self-Deceiving Liar

Lin Xiamian didn't know how long he had been standing there waiting.

His lips were a little pale from the freeze, but what was even paler than his lips was his bloodless cheeks when he looked at Lin Xiaodong and Gu Xi standing side by side.

Seeing that they finally noticed him, Lin Xiamian slowly walked out of the shadow in the corner.

"You are finally back."

He said hoarsely, "I've been waiting for you all night."

The young man stared at Lin Xiaodong with those dark eyes, his tone was gloomy and depressed.

Lin Xiaodong was silent for a moment, then sighed: "It's a new year, Xia Mian, I don't want to be angry with you either, let's go home and talk about something."

"No!" Lin Xiamian stubbornly said, "Today, I have to make it clear in front of him, brother, you promised your mother before that no matter how old you are in this life, even if you get married and have children, you will regard me as the most important thing. man, but now you would rather climb down from the sixth floor in slippers than spend New Year's Eve with him for a man?"

Gu Xi frowned fiercely, and he said why Lin Xiaodong ran out wearing only a pair of flip-flops.

"You locked your brother in the room?" he asked in a deep voice.

Lin Xiamian glanced at him resentfully: "Shut up! I'm talking to my brother, what's your business?"

"Your brother's business is mine," Gu Xi said coldly, "but you, even an adult, still hold on to Lin Xiaodong, are you a child who hasn't been weaned?"

Lin Xiaodong looked at him in surprise.

Incredible, the big guy actually scolded Bai Yueguang for himself! ?

The system couldn't bear it any longer: "I think you are much more blind than I am in some respects. Haven't you seen that the plot has completely changed? Gu Xi likes you right now!"

Lin Xiaodong was shocked: "What!?"

He said melancholy: "Although I know that I am indeed popular and charming, but after all, I am just a passer-by, and there is no herb in the world, why should I be greedy for my flower?"

The system couldn't take it anymore: "Just have some face."

However, the system's remarks also reminded Lin Xiaodong that he still had two pieces of the Good Person Card not collected in Lin Xiamian's place.

"You're not going to use the previous method, are you?" the system asked in disbelief.

"Yeah," Lin Xiaodong said with a smile, "I'm a good brother, of course I have to get used to it."

He took a step forward, as if he didn't see Lin Xiamian's gloomy expression, stretched out his hand and grabbed his wrist, and placed a small cold hard object in his palm.

"Happy New Year, Xia Mian." He gave a faint smile to the stunned cheap brother, "Don't be angry, this is the most beautiful conch I found by the sea, and I give it to you."

Lin Xiamian pursed his lips.

"Don't think I'll forgive you just like this..." He whispered unwillingly.

But the next second he broke the defense.

Because Lin Xiaodong opened his arms and hugged him tightly.

Lin Xiamian waited downstairs all night, his limbs were stiff from the cold, watching the lights of thousands of homes in the community, listening to the surrounding people sitting together and having a lively New Year's Eve reunion dinner, a fiery heart in his chest. It also cools down slowly over time.

But when the person he was thinking about really appeared in front of him and took him into his arms, his nose couldn't help but sour: "Brother, I..."

He raised his hand and wanted to hug Lin Xiaodong back, but the young man had already taken a step back and took another man's hand in front of him as if nothing had happened: "Okay, everyone is calm now, Mr. Gu, Go upstairs and sit down?"

Lin Xiamian: "..."

Gu Xi, who had always maintained an indifferent expression since Lin Xiaodong hugged Lin Xiamian, slowly raised a slight arc at the corner of his mouth: "Okay."

But in Lin Xiamian's view, it was dazzling no matter how he looked at it.

He endured and endured, and in the end, it was because of Lin Xiaodong's face, he just gave Gu Xi a fierce look, and went upstairs first.

"Adolescence is rebellious, there's nothing you can do, take more care of yourself," Lin Xiaodong whispered to Gu Xi, "After all, Mr. Gu, you're a parent."

Gu Xi, who was just about to ask himself why he should take care of Lin Xiamian, heard the second half of the sentence and silently swallowed the doubts that had already reached his lips.

"Okay." He said lightly, with an expression of "Since you said so, I'll just bear with it".

"Look," Lin Xiaodong said to the system as he went upstairs, "man, he is the most coaxing creature in the world."

System: It's not the same as you.

When I entered the house, it was finally not as cold as outside. Lin Xiaodong squinted his eyes in enjoyment, and took off the scarf around his neck and hung it behind the door. When he walked to the living room, he found that the food on the table was already cold.

Lin Xiamian sat on the sofa without a word, holding the conch in his hand, his eyes fixed on the Spring Festival Gala sketch on TV where the audience was laughing, with a bitter look on his face.

Lin Xiaodong didn't call him. He brought the dishes to the kitchen and reheated them. When the food was steaming again, he turned around and wanted to call Gu Xilai to help with the dishes, when he realized that the two people who were still in the living room just now were different. Knowing when he had come to the kitchen in unison, he didn't even need to shout, he "scrambled" to bring the dishes over.

Seeing the scene where they were cold-faced and ignored by no one, but they were all very quick in their work, Lin Xiaodong smiled and said to the system, "Am I very good? Without saying a word, let the two men do the work. I hit it hard."

system:"............"

Old marketing number.

Before dinner, Lin Xiaodong also opened a bottle of beer for everyone. He glanced at the New Year's Eve with light snow outside the window, and raised his glass happily: "I wish everyone a happy New Year!"

Gu Xi and Lin Xiamian were not happy at all.

But looking at the bright smile on the young man's face, the eyes of the two of them unconsciously softened a bit.

"Happy New Year." "Brother, Happy New Year."

Accompanied by the sound of blessing, there is also the prompt sound of the system tablet:

"Ding, Good Person Card Fragment +1"

"Whose is it this time?" Lin Xiaodong asked.

"Lin Xiamian," the system said, "it seems that he doesn't have a guilty conscience about locking you in the bedroom. Your appeasement action tonight was very successful, making him feel that you are a kind and soft-hearted person from the bottom of his heart. Brother, I also gave Lin Xiamian the illusion that no matter what he does to you, you will never be angry."

"It's not an illusion."

System: "What?"

"I said, it's not an illusion." Lin Xiaodong accepted the braised prawns fed by Gu Xi with a smile. Lin Xiamian's eyes turned red as he watched, and soon the peeled shrimp in his bowl became a mountain high. "I really won't be angry."

System: "Excuse me, farewell."

It seems that it underestimated Lin Xiaodong's lower limit.

But the system suddenly thought that if Lin Xiaodong had been accustomed to Lin Xiamian's current practice of boiling frogs in warm water, and the other party was so accustomed to being inseparable from him that he was full of eyes, in case Lin Xiaodong left in the future...

At that time, Lin Xiamian's entire world will probably collapse.

*

On the first day of the new year, Lin Xiaodong packed up and returned to Gu's house.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Lin Xiamian didn't say anything about this.

He even took the initiative to help him put his luggage in the trunk, and said goodbye to him with a smile: "Brother, remember to come back often when you have time."

"It's weird," Lin Xiaodong said. "Look at me, my cheap brother is amazing. It's quiet here, so he must be a demon."

System: "I know."

The host and the system are bound to do tasks. After leaving the small world, the host needs psychological counseling and memory filing, but Ling Qi feels that it will soon become the first system that requires psychological counseling. .

Lin Xiaodong didn't know the complicated mood of the system. After returning to the Gu family mansion, he went back to get off work with Gu Xi every day.

During the time when they went home before, the two were in a semi-cold war. Originally, the president's office was not on the same floor as the manager's office. It was normal for the Gu Group to be so large that they could not see each other for ten days and a half months.

But Gu Xi quickly discovered that it was not a matter of the company being too big to see.

He "unintentionally" passed by Lin Xiaodong's floor several times, and it happened that every time no one was there, Gu Xi thought it was a coincidence at first, but after more than a few times, what else did he not understand?

Die of laughter, what a chance encounter, what a coincidence.

Can't meet at all!

There was also a lot of discussion within the entire Gu Group. Some people guessed that Gu Xi and Lin Xiaodong broke up, and some people guessed that some of them were empathetic and divorced. Needless to say, the person who always gave up and never gave up, naturally Gu Xi, the president, was the first to bear the brunt.

There is no way, Lin Xiaodong has a face that is naturally attractive, and no one believes that he will cheat.

In this regard, Gu Xi said: It is all nonsense.

Now that people have finally returned to him, he naturally wants to prove his innocence. But he didn't need to say it himself. The company's keen-eyed colleagues soon discovered that Manager Xiaolin and General Manager Gu started to commute to get off work together.

Moreover, Manager Xiaolin seems to be in a particularly good mood recently. He often orders milk tea for them at his own expense during the afternoon lunch break. When the number of times is high, some people can't help but ask curiously, "Manager Xiaolin, is there anything good recently?"

"Huh? No," Lin Xiaodong replied with a smile, "I'm just happy."

There must be a situation!

Colleagues didn't believe his remarks, and soon, the news that Gu Xi was going to go abroad with Lin Xiaodong to get a certificate spread wildly inside the company. For a mature multinational company, the internal control system is of course very sensitive. Just two days after the rumor spread, someone reported it to Gu Xi.

But what is very intriguing is that it is said that after hearing about this incident, Gu Xi, who was the party involved, just gave a light "um" and said "I know" to the person, and neither agreed nor opposed the whole process.

This is basically equivalent to confirming the authenticity of the rumor.

In this way, in the eyes of the entire company's employees, Lin Xiaodong is now only one step away from the position of the president's wife.

However--

"Mrs. President?" Lin Xiaodong clicked his tongue, "What is this name, I don't want it."

If it wasn't for the fact that Gu Xi still had a good person card that he didn't collect, he would have run away long ago. After getting along for so long, it's not that he has no feelings, but it's just that long pain is worse than short pain, and he can't always delay other people's good times.

He immediately made a business trip application with the above, ready to let both parties calm down for a while.

But Lin Xiaodong forgot that the boss of his immediate boss was Gu Xi.

Therefore, when he got into the official car distributed by the company, he turned around and found that the door was locked and the driver was the president of the group...

Lin Xiaodong admitted that he was dumbfounded.

"I'm on a business trip, what are you doing here?" he asked, staring at the man in confusion.

Gu Xi looked at the little liar who was so stunned, and couldn't help but curled the corners of his lips.

"I'm on a business trip too," he said.

"You... you are also a big boss anyway, why do you drive this kind of car on business?" Lin Xiaodong glanced at the shabby configuration of this second-hand Volkswagen. If it weren't for its confusing appearance, he would not have been taken aback by it. People come to catch turtles in a urn - bah bah, it's catching people in a car.

"You can drive it," Gu Xi said casually. He doesn't have much requirements for things like cars. As long as the performance passes the test, Wuling Hongguang can also drive as a Porsche. "Fasten your seat belts and prepare to go."

Lin Xiaodong opened his mouth, he originally wanted to say something, but finally closed his mouth obediently.

When the car hit the highway, he asked half-complaining and half-jokingly, "You did it on purpose, didn't you?"

Gu Xi did not answer his question.

The man held the steering wheel with one hand, leaned on the driver's seat, and glanced at him with a half-smile: "There is a book under the seat, you can read it if you are bored on the road, but it's best not to look at things in the car, it will hurt your eyes. "

The service is quite attentive.

Lin Xiaodong muttered in his heart, and reached out to touch the bottom of his butt-

"The Runaway Wife of the Domineering President"

Lin Xiaodong: Come on.

Seriously, it was definitely intentional!
